You did not think they would leave, and they thought that their fortresses would protect them from Allah; but [the decree of] Allah came upon them from where they had not expected, and He cast terror into their hearts [so] they destroyed their houses by their [own] hands and the hands of the believers.
Tetapi Allah menyiksa mereka dari arah yang tidak mereka sangka, lalu memasukkan rasa takut yang sangat ke dalam hati mereka. Mereka merusak rumah tempat tinggal mereka dengan tangan mereka sendiri untuk dibiarkan kosong, dan dengan tangan kaum mukminin untuk merusak perlindungan mereka.
